Now, if anyone's interested, my comments {in braces}:
ASIA REPORT
Dear Fr Pfeiffer
Thanks for waiting so long; as i was preaching a one man show retreat in Tagαytay... and i am not like Josey Wales, capable to preach a whole retreat, carry the sollicitude of all the Churches, run a worlwide resistance network and spiritualdirectionize lost souls on the otherside of the hemisphere via cell phone.
Bishop Williamson trip in Asia was a shot in the arm for all centers. He saw 400 people, gave 52 confirmations, lots of speeches, consecrated two Chalices and his good humor, punch lines and british touch were totally enjoyed by everyone. He is up and running, but I agree with you, his fourth piston is yet to fire. but the fact that we discussed so long on the issue demonstrates that at least he is not irritated by the question and expresses a willingness to understand that if he departs this world, leaving us orphans, either his soul is lost or we don't need sacraments. "You are almost making me a Christian"... did he tell me as i was piling arguments sky high. Fr de Tanouarn, a prince among our french liberals, says he will not do it; I think it is an omen to the contrary.
{We will know that +W's forth piston has begun to
fire when we hear the announcement that there will be
Episcopal Consecrations imminent. It seems to me that
the French Liberals are afraid of +W consecrating
Fr. Chazal bishop. It seems to me that if +W were to
do so, it could easily be the spark that ignites the
Resistance in France, the "Eldest Daughter of the Church,"
and, furthermore, if this were to happen, it would be EGG
ON THE FACE of +TdM if he would persist in his current
posture of a mugwump,* a.k.a., fence sitting, ambivalent,
indecisive, tepid, lukewarm and halting. -- IMHO
*A mugwump is one who sits on a fence, with his mug on
one side and his wump on the other.}
As a consequence i feel fully exonerated from the obligation to come to Virginia. I have done my part. But, could you please give him a copy of "Gods and Generals" as a birthday gift, or at least play Stonewall's Virginia speech on a big screen, saying: "Just as we, would never march into any other place, and novusordoize other people, so we would never allow anybody to march into our place, and novusordoize our people!"
{This allusion to "Stonewall's Virginia speech" seems
to have a typo init, but I'm not sure where it is - should
there be no comma after "Just as we...?" The reference is
to Stonewall Jackson's speech in which he is reported to
have said, "Just as we would not send any of our soldiers
to march in other states and tyrannize other people, so will
we never allow the armies of others to march into our states
and tyrannize our people."}
The Korean Group is growing; 40 were present for the Confirmation on Sunday. The next Sunday mass after the Bishop's visit, the chapel was almost full, and plenty young with new faces, but i cannot tell if we are going to get back to pre-2012-crisis levels in Korea.
{This seems to say that before the SSPX crisis in 2012, the
attendance of SSPX Faithful in Korea was far greater than it
is today, after the crisis.Does anyone here at CI know about
this state of affairs? Where can I find more stories about the
faithful in Korea?}
In the Philippines, the Manila ceremonies at Emmy Cortez' went very well for the little group. Again, the house of Julie Cordova is now too small for Sunday Mass. We have to look for another place, all the while the Tanay group is calling us, thanks to Fr Suelo. Manila area is then 100 souls, but i think the XSPX is going to counterattack in Tanay. Fr Suelo says they will hold. The coming of Fr Suelo is the key outcome of the Bishop's visit in Manila. If he continues like that, other soldiers are going to join. For my part i am immensely relieved by this one good old fighting priest. Fr Suelo is as old school as old school can be, as you know so well.
{I have never heard of this Fr. Suelo! Who is he? Where
has he been? Where did he come from? Who are his faithful?
Did he ever say the Newmass? What is the story of his fight
for the Faith? Did he ever meet ABL? What other priests
have worked in the mission field with him? What is his
background? What is his native language? How many languages
does he speak? Did he ever deal with Rome or local ordinaries
that is, NovusOrdo-ordinaries? (NovusOrdinaries?) What is his
story? Has he written an autobiography? Where can I find
information about him?}
In Leyte 150 people showed up in Maasin, they came also from Santa Cruz, Sogod, Ormoc and Hindang. The Bato people have been totally brainwashed and call us schismatics, like Fr Laisney (who, by the way, refuses to reply to "L'illusion Liberale II" and calls me insane).
{Very telling statement! We have a copy of this "L'illusion Liberale II"
in our Resistance Writings. However, it was curiously MISSING from
there until I added it. It is very long (compared to other such letters)
and therefore, I have to wonder:
Does Fr. Laisney presume that he can get away with not responding
to it because it is so 'long'that most of the faithful won't bother
to read it????}
His Lordship really liked his stay, it was like [a vacation] for him, walking by the sea shore and enjoying my outdoor chess defeat at the hands of Fr Suelo. We had a procession of the Blessed Sacrament down the streets of Maasin, with plenty of missing liturgical items and rubrics, but the Good Lord understands that we come from almost zero. His Lordship looked in the Maasin situation and concludes the same as us: high handedness on good people that should have not be molested or scandalized.
{Uhh... the insult of high handedness had been used upon good
people who should not have been molested or scandalized? Is
this Maasin situation explained by anyone? Have you heard about
it? What has been going on there? It sounds like more TYRANNY
from the Menzingen-denizens, that the Accordistas are so wont to
deny is going on -- they are BENT on discrediting such incidents and
situations as being unbelievable or "Internet rumour." Meanwhile, I
have YET to find any credible Menzingen-denizen identification of
so much as ONE CASE of what they think is "Internet rumour." I
have come to the conclusion that the Menzingen-denizens are oh,
so careful to be VAGUE and AMBIGUOUS about what they MEAN
when they say 'Internet rumour' and this has a purpose. They do
this because they do not want to be held accountable for having
said that A, B or C was not believable when A, B or C later prove
out to have been TRUE and QUITE CREDIBLE AFTER ALL, and that
would then DESTROY their penchant to criticize this vague,
ambiguous chimera, this mirage of so-called 'Internet rumour', etc.}
Then we crossed to Dagohoy in Bohol, to a group that has been traditional for 20 years, but that was never visited by a bishop for confirmations. They were 40, 13 of them confirmands. The Bishop really liked that little chapel, in the middle of nowhere, and of course our main man, Romeo, was absent! Philippinos will be Philippinos! I wish he could have met Loyd also, the backup man!
Then we crossed to Cebu and met 50 people, half of them so late that those among them who needed it could not receive confirmation. Ramses did a great work. We were in a hurry, but the Bishop gave three speeches (because of the late comers), breaking spears with attorney Bakalso, whom i still respect very much. I also brought the Bishop to Lola Bertha, who was a bit confused because she is being blocked from letting the bishop, that blessed the chapel on her property, celebrate the Mass and Confirmations ten years later. But again, the Bishop was happy to see her and told her it was all right and that he understood the situation. I am going to begin to give Sunday Masses for Cebu, thanks to the flex given by Fr Suelo, whose health is improving just as we make him move around. The confinement in his room, day after day, in Manila, appears to be the cause of his lung problems. To be confirmed, though. I cross my fingers.
{Uhhh... Question: How is Lola Bertha being blocked from
letting +W celebrate Mass and Confirmations on her property?
It sounds like this is YET ANOTHER INSTANCE OF MEZINGEN
MEDDLING WHERE IT IS NOT WELCOME -- something that
needs to be exposed and docuмented, for it is the kind of thing
the Accordistas are wont to disallow on the grounds that it is
more inaccuracy or misinterpretation of the wiles of the
Menzingen-denizens. These are moral criminals who go about
doing their dirty work all the while attempting to go on record as
having done nothing wrong -- they want their argument to be they
are sqeaky-clean while the Resistance is FILTHY DIRTY. Do you see
how this works?????}
Another thing worthy of note; His Lordship told us to do all we could for the three or four aspirants to the Priesthood; then he went down and blessed the future house in Batangas. It should open in September. But if candidates can be shipped over to you, that would be still a solution that i would prefer, because there is not enough of us, (even if Fr Kramer comes for a few months), to train them fully.
{Does this mean that Fr. Paul Kramer, who is fluent in Latin,
English, Greek, French, German, Italian and Hungarian (if I'm
not mistaken),Spanish and Portuguese, as well as an accomplished
theologian and pianist, but doesn't like to admit it, is going to help
with the seminary project in the Asian region?? Has he been
studying Tagalog and Korean and Japanese and Chinese in his
spare time?!?!}
The Bishop told me to teach them the elements: Latin, Scripture, Encyclicals, History and English. No spirituality. Nothing going in to their heads, the total opposite of the Castle in Spain in Virginia.
{TRANSLATION: The new seminary project, the White Elephant
of the Menzingen-denizens, will have virtually no Latin, Scripture,
Encyclicals, History and English, and will rather accentuate
spirituality going into their heads, instead. Can someone provide
a better description? This is for the benefit of those who are
preparing to send their sons into the mouth off the lion, I
mean, the new seminary in Virginia.}
I really trust that you are going to do the same with the Seminary on the Hillbelly, under the laughs of the fancy clerics of our time. I am ready, as promised, to give you three months in three installments per year to help you in that task, and if i get a third priest for East Asia, without requesting you to swap your Mass circuits with me, even if it would be best. everybody is waiting for you.
{Correct me if I'm wrong, but it would seem Fr. Chazal is
making a joke about Fr. Pfeiffer's physical size, with "Seminary
on the Hillbelly"because it is a ménage à deux, so to speak,
a combination of two things: Seminary on the hill, and
Seminary of the hillbilly, but, since this particular 'hillbilly'
(Fr. Joe) is "portly" in stature, it becomes then "Hillbelly." You
can't help but marvel at the not-so-subtlety of this Francois
Chazal character!}
Then we flew to Singapore, for 20 people, mostly from the Yeo Clan. They were very good and talked at length with His Lordship. He took a good 48 hours rest, just as we went to admire the glory of Babylon the Great. As it is my custom, I read him the corresponding chapters of the Apocalypse from the top of the Sands Hotel and Casino, the craziest babylonic place that i know of. We also had some tea at the Raffle's Hotel, a brilliant relic of some forgotten power's past.
{I have to say, I really appreciate this mental image, which
is better than any high definition newfangled F/X production of
the scene, because it leaves one's mind free to create its own
images which are invariably better than the Schpielburgs of our
day. Fr. Chazal standing next to +Williamson, looking out over
Singapore from atop the Sands Hotel and Casino, reading the
'corresponding chapters of the Apocalypse' which I presume would
be chapters 13, 15, 17 and 18 ---CORRECT??? HAHAHAHAHA}
The key people of the Malaysia group being abroad, i cancelled the visit of the Bishop, but they are going to receive monthly mass starting July. We also omitted Japan (15 souls), Iloilo (20 people yesterday), and other small centers together with the new groups that are calling us now and that i have not started to visit myself.
The news in India is good, Fr Valan is indestructible, Fr Pancras is joining the fray nicely, and preparations for Australia are almost complete. Ils ne passeront pas!
Come in November.
In Iesu et Maria,
Francois Chazal sspx-mc
{It would seem the November coming would likely include
visits of the Bishop to Japan, Iloilo, Malaysia and "other
small centers," since he missed them this time, NO? Perhaps
India. Perhaps Australia.
Where is there more to be found, and stories, perhaps, of
Fr. Valan? We need to hear the news of our "INDESTRUCTIBLE"
priests!}
